1. A wireless remote control system comprising, in combination:

  • a first illuminating device including;

    a first microprocessor,a first lighting unit electrically connected to and controlled by the first microprocessor,a first memory electrically connected to the first microprocessor and having a first identification number indicative of at least one of a location and a serial number of the first illuminating device,a first detection unit electrically connected to the first microprocessor and the first lighting unit, with the first detection unit detecting a first parameter of one of voltage, temperature, resistance, and power of the first lighting unit in operation and sending the detected first parameter to the first microprocessor, with the first microprocessor encoding the first parameter and the first identification number into a first packet, anda first wireless transmitting unit including a first signal transmitter sending out a first signal containing the first packet;

    a second illuminating device spaced from the first illuminating device, with the second illuminating device including;

    a second microprocessor,a second lighting unit electrically connected to and controlled by the second microprocessor,a second memory electrically connected to the second microprocessor and having a second identification number indicative of at least one of a location and a serial number of the second illuminating device, with the second identification number different from the first identification number,a second detection unit electrically connected to the second microprocessor and the second lighting unit, with the second detection unit detecting a second parameter of one of voltage, temperature, resistance, and power of the second lighting unit in operation and sending the detected second parameter to the second microprocessor, with the second microprocessor encoding the second parameter and the second identification number into a second packet, anda second wireless transmitting unit including a signal receiver and a second signal transmitter, with the signal receiver receiving the first signal containing the first packet from the first illuminating device, with the second signal transmitter sending out the first signal and a second signal containing the second packet;

    a network device receiving and transmitting the first and second signals; and

    a control center receiving the first and second signals from the network device, with the control center decoding the first and second packets and judging operational states of the first and second illuminating device based on the first and second parameters detected, with the control center sending out a control signal through the network device to open or close or control brightness of at least one of the first and second illuminating devices when at least one of the first and second parameters is identified as not in a normal range.
